The invention discloses a setup spring self-recovery energy dissipation brace in the technical field of self-recovery energy dissipation braces. The brace comprises an inner pipe, an outer pipe, a spring, a spring baffle and a guide block; the inner pipe comprises a left inner pipe, a right inner pipe, a first steel pipe, a first steel pipe left baffle, a first steel pipe right baffle, an inner pipe left stopper, an inner pipe right stopper, an inner pipe outer friction plate, a high-strength bolt and an inner pipe connecting plate; the outer pipe comprises a left outer pipe, a right outer pipe, a second steel pipe, an outer pipe left baffle, an outer pipe right baffle, an outer pipe internal left stopper, an outer pipe internal right stopper, an outer pipe inner friction plate and an outer pipe connecting plate; the spring comprises a first spring and a second spring, wherein the first spring is sleeved outside the left inner pipe, and the second spring is sleeved outside the right inner pipe; two ends of the spring are connected with the spring baffle. The brace has the advantages that residual deformation of a structure is decreased, the brace is convenient to construct and easy to maintain and replace after earthquake action, and normal usage state affecting time is shortened.
